Following reports that TikTok and Instagram are becoming go-to sites for people making holiday plans, there are new findings that these apps (alongside YouTube) are increasingly becoming a source of news for young people as well.

According to an Ofcom report (opens in new tab) (a UK communications regulator) these three social media platforms are the top three sources among teenagers that were polled. For slightly older people in the 16-24 age category social media and the internet was also their favorite way to watch the news, with the internet in general just beating more traditional options (like television, newspapers, and radio) in the 25-34 and 35-44 groups.
